The 12th Conference on Modern Estonian History
June 9–10, 2011
Institute of History of Tallinn University
International Influences on Estonian Society in the 19th and 20th centuries
The 19th and 20th centuries are a period in history that are characterized by major changes in politics, commerce, economics, law, culture and social and international affairs as a results of technological and economic modernization, the advance of science and medicine and the spread of education. During this period numerous international movements appeared in support of women’s rights, temperance, sports etc. and organizations such as the League of Nations, United Nations, Red Cross, PEN-clubs, International Olympic Committee etc. were established. Through advocacy of their ideas and their activity in behalf of the creation of a more stable economic order and in behalf of issues in public health, labor standards, women’s rights, humanitarian relief etc., they helped improve the over-all quality of life for people and promoted social welfare through international cooperation.
We invite papers from participants to the conference which will deal with the influence of international movements and organizations on Estonia and the participation of Estonia in such organizations and movements. At the same time we welcome papers on the general theme of the role of international influence on Estonian education, law, economy, politics, society and culture.
The official languages of the Conference by tradition will be Estonian and English.
Participants will have 30 minutes at their disposal (20 minutes for delivering the paper and 10 for discussion).
Proposals for papers and a short abstract should be forwarded to: Maie Pihlamägi (maie.pihlamagi@tlu.ee) by March 1, 2011.
We are pleased to announce that the previewed journal Acta Historica Tallinnensia is available for publishing relevant articles (www.kirj.ee)
We look forward to your reply and hope that you can join us at the 12th Conference on Modern Estonian History.
